a major media scandal is developing in greece where a journalist is on trial charged with a breach of privacy cost as nice as arrested on was arrested on monday after he had published a so-called legard list containing the names of the country's top tax evaders on the same day two t.v. presenters were suspended for criticizing a government minister on greek journalists around the forty eight hours trying on wednesday condemning what they called a crime down on free speech under monologist journalist for their electoral take was newspaper says the current situation creates an alarming precedent. mr of rocks around this issue is really. for everyone for press because he probably is far from his magazine the name of the two thousand name of bromine and greeks whichever they have are bank account in their suits are learnt maybe they heard some of that they heard some pixie variations but the real. not sure for this isn't now he's

going to try out of course. greeks doesn't like this kind of things and so for this reason many greeks will be in front of the today to hear this fine as most ministers had these lists and they said they didn't know anything about the names nothing has changed in these two years and now journalists like me sort of are seven is obviously it's sort of work and it's full of this is they don't do these they do they they work so they have to go to. just days before the u.s. presidential election green positrons that jill stein has been arrested for a second time in two weeks she was trying to reach activists protesting against an oil pipeline in texas stain was later released from jail after being charged with trespassing green party officials called mclarty says alternatives to obama and being sidelined dr stein. was assisting the activists in order to make

a statement she was delivering supplies to the protestors i understand that they were camping out in trees they were in the they were in the way of the construction of the pipeline we do know that the last time dr stone was arrested about two weeks ago when she attempted to enter the obama romney debate that was taking place at hofstra university on long island she and running mate sherry hogzilla were detained and handcuffed to a chair for for eight hours before being released the obama romney debates are sponsored by the commission on presidential debates which is itself owned by the democratic and republican parties for the express purpose of privileging their own candidates and excluding other candidates and we we call that an outrage. so third past kansas jule styne and gary johnson will get another chance to break

the mainstream media blockade right on the eve of the vote and also he will brawl causative final round of their debates live on monday. we both agree we agree we have to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did governor romney i'm glad. you agree let's go back to something the president i agree are there to do you agree that the voters have a choice perhaps you wondered how to vote for one romney and obama agree on so many things remember you do have other options come november sixth tuned in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates right here on r.g.p. . so with obama and romney is still running neck and neck critics say the close race will make it easier to regular election some claim to a core of america's voting system as flawed as it relies on equipment equipment which can easily be tumbled with and locks transparency and accountability as our

season is to say trick and i reports. the u.s. a beacon of democracy and an example to be followed by the rest of the world one big source of pride is its fundamental concept of free and fair elections american elections are a disgrace it's like walking into the kitchen of a first class restaurant and losing or appetite at what you see because we have an election system a voting system that is completely nontransparent an opinion shared by many political experts and educators if you were here. in a magician suit who then went behind the curtain came out having first shredded the ballots to tell you who won would you trust that process and that process largely to blame is the outdated elec trying to voting system in the states where all they have this electronic voting it could be a real problem. if you don't have some other type of backup source to verify the vote count. it could be

a problem read friedman is an independent award winning blogger who has covered the us election system for years he calls the problem a pandemic. and says change is long overdue every single state in the union uses electronic voting a third of the voters this year will vote on one hundred percent on verifiable touch screen voting systems electronic voting systems. the rest of the country by and large will vote on paper ballots but those paper ballots are also counted by electronic systems unless you can see inside a computer there is no way to know if those computers and tally those ballots correctly several experiments conducted on electronic voting machines have proven that simple keystrokes and some knowledge of science and computers could flip results the security side of the machine will be cleared being created in numbers insert to correct in numbers experts say the accuracy of the vote count even with people a trail is a myth in that ninety nine percent plus percent of the cases those ballots never

see the light of day they're never examined never reach out to basically american elections at this point have virtually zero claim on public confidence and which intimacy the rules and specific ations of how lections are held very locally and state by state four thousand different counties each of them use a different type of system a different type of voting system each of them have different flaws different vulnerabilities one particular company that makes electronic voting machines in the us has earned a dubious reputation for unverifiable results as records vanish into thin air i go to an a.t.m. and it's a debug machine i get a confirmation slip and i go around the corner to vote and i you know make my vote and there's no record other voter machine production companies are also known to have strong partisan affiliations they are not accountable to any voters. they are not just private but but private and extreme in their political sympathies

democrats don't actually win that many elections to be precise democrats almost never win close elections and the trick therefore is to see to it. a race is or looks close improving the election process in this digital age doesn't appear to be on anyone's agenda including barack obama's our president who won't talk ever about election fraud and denies that it has ever happened even when you know members of his own party have been the victims of it and while the number of reported flaws grows with each passing election over the past decade since two thousand when. congress was pretending to want to make things better what has happened is things have gotten much much worse it appears stealing an election in the u.s. may be a candidate certain way to secure a win it's easy as one two three in this digital age of smartphones tablets and satellite navigation systems american voters will head to the polls this november to cast their ballots using antiquated and unreliable voting machines machines that

vital supplies on board. israel has once again stepped up its anti iran rhetoric prime minister binyamin netanyahu has been pushing for more for more outside pressure on tehran to stifle it atomic ambitions during a visit to france the premier called for tougher sanctions on the islamic republic and this despite the israeli defense minister ehud barak's claims tehran had showed its alleged nuclear weapons program had slowed i should say and as are his policy reports there's domestic matters that lie behind the contrasting remarks. such comments are certainly part of the political game that has intensified here in israel ahead of the early general elections that are now going to be held next year until now barack has stood firmly in the same campus his prime minister benjamin netanyahu both have repeatedly warned against is the nuclear capability of iran and have warned of an impending israeli strike we saw it on yahoo not so long ago at the united nations general assembly drawing

a red line but what many experts here in israel say is that that was a red line by which israel would strike iran rather than a red line in terms of a deadline by which tehran would acquire nuclear capability but rock heads up his own political party and certainly what he is trying to do now is distance himself from netanyahu on the whole iran question he is trying to appeal to voters who have not yet decided and this division between them does seem to suggest brock saying that netanyahu may not have been completely truthful around the iranian nuclear threat so to me there is a division not only on this level but in the greater political elite here in israel although the question is still unanswered whether or not israel plans to strike iran and if indeed it does win policy r.t. jerusalem. and on our web site r.t. dot com right now for you the martian rover curiosity discovers the red planet has quite a lot in common with how why. and the ways. of anger rising in japan after people

hello again oh welcome to life me into the shelter dogs and i'll get it all been today my guess is steven kull and when obama came to power through. four years ago their russia u.s. relations changed to about it has been the time of friendship and cooperation

rather than stand up at least with hostile we called it the reset in two thousand and twelve power shift has already happened in russia and in the few days we will know if it happens in america and whoever wins the presidential race that the us foreign policy will change the only question is will discuss the day when american historian at a former adviser to george w. bush i read all the experts in russia. even. with days left until the u.s. presidential elections many have been intrigued by the future of russian american relations. if barack obama is reelected how flexible would he be with his russian counterpart. or maybe another round of tension should be expected with a republican in the oval office. however it is clear russia and the u.s. will have to resolve some serious global issues in the near future regardless

ideally they should work on them together. to go welcome to the share one what was that smile you gave me when i when i read that introduction in the beginning i think because you felt that things got a lot better with the reset that obama and began and i think they didn't get that much but. i don't think they really got that they looked better and were you know you know when god said it won't go first there was the word so there was the word the way obama came to well you can't deny that but you and i know a long time a long time we've been words of politicians we had and we look beyond probably the differences if there is one between you and me is i'm not one hundred one and one on one but i am a historian and i think especially for americans you can't.
